Notes
Do not share this medication with others.
Lab and/or medical tests (such as lung function, blood pressure, heart rate) should be done while you are using this medication. Keep all medical and lab appointments. Consult your doctor for more details.
Learn to use a peak flow meter, use it daily, and promptly report breathing problems (such as readings in the yellow/red range, increased use of quick-relief inhalers).
Avoid substances that can worsen breathing problems by causing irritation or allergic reactions, such as smoke, pollen, pet dander, dust, and mold.
Because the flu virus can worsen breathing problems, ask your doctor or pharmacist if you should have a flu shot every year.
